    A caring, reflective, competitive, kind, funny, empathetic idiot, perhaps? Just trying to be helpful here.

    Of course, I could counter by asking what kind of idiot makes two moves that pay off with a -1, where if he had stayed put would have netted 12?

    Does anyone else think that playing balls back to the goalkeepers is overdone? I appreciate wanting to maintain possession in the back but there were some stark examples of risk over reward today.

    could not agree more; a couple balls over the top into the channels can do wonders in opening space in the back and avoid those Allison moments (not that I want to see them avoided by Allison, mind you:p;)...my team does it far to much and it especially bit us with Kepa...and er with Rudiger today

    Foden is sat there on my bench with the same amount of points as the nine players who were selected ahead of him.

    Similar thing happened last week, fantasy woes!!!

    Did Virgil triple him? I think he is Gundy is going to get the call up to be the next James Bond. Talk about a break out star.

    OK Lobo, what is up with the Tuchel rotation. Not good when combined with a Pep rotation.

    yep I have not a clue nor an explanation, but we are beating who we should, pity Tammy was hurt today before he could see if he could earn a starting spot, was worried at first but Mount and Timo seem to be in favor, feel for Zy, Pul, Chil, Reese, Kante, Mendy ??? and their owners here, seem to be out of favor for players you would not expect to start now, but as long as we win in the end, Athletico and Man U will test Tuc's strategy and selection and gives some insight into how long he lasts....As to Pep gave up on my guess his midfielder de jour and went for 3 Defenders hoping at least two start each week, and get 20% of the points Gun gets

    I sort of looked half-heartedly but didn't find it. Are we allowed to use the bench boost and triple captain in the draft league? I know the free hit doesn't make sense for a draft league and isn't allowed but I thought I remembered the other two were. Don't want to do anything illegal though.

    My team is so bad playing with 15 players probably won't even help!

    You can use the Bench Boost and Triple Captain. Just not the Free Hit where you get to switch your squad. Everything looks good on paper at Top Shelf. Just need them to hit at the right time. Like Bamford on a double gameweek.

    What happened to the Leeds vs Wolves goalfest? Good thing I captained Ings on my open team.

    Not sure what all the fuss is about. I had Bale earlier in the season and he did very little. Let me know when he has a two goal, one assist match. Then I'll pay attention.

    ya know how this games works, I am too busy knocking my head against the wall for not keeping Kane as Captain, and leaving El Mohamady's 8 on the bench, and watching Bruno outscore my 3 City defenders combined thrice over in 35 seconds to fully savor Bales's day;)

    Lol. I was checking to see your massive score. First thought it was a City defender but then see Mount captained. I am just happy I didn’t pick Aubameyang first in the draft...

    Here's fun. At various points in the season, I owned Bale, Sigurdsson, Barnes and Zaha. Timing is everything. I hope Barnes recovers and the rest do well for your teams. I have Ings.

    Is it wrong I have one wee guy in Chelsea Blue on one shoulder and another hobo looking guy on the other arguing over whether it is wrong to think Mount might ought to rest in a key battle for 4th:confused::cautious: ...eff it just play care free and score a hat--trick of goals AND assists Mount.
